Cranfield Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 While I was away the reminder, that my shotgun certificate expires in August, landed on my doormat. As you know, the renewal form is just like an application form. Thats all wrong for a start. :( The chap that countersigned my last one was the Chairman of the local Magistrates. Sadly he died a few years ago. Looking at the list of "approved countersignatorys" I am struggling to think of anyone to sign mine. I will probably have to ask my Doctor, I could introduce myself to him at the same time. :( Who signed yours ? Did you stick to the "approved" list ?

everygoodnamewastaken Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 My Dad just got the guy next door to sighn his. I think you only need an aproved person for your first grant. Im 16 now and im trying to get mine as i am going into gamekeeping as a carere. I was talking to an instructor at the basc game fair and he said that doctors can sometimes charge to sign. Does anyone know if a prison officer is classed as a police enployed civi? the instructor got his gas man to sign. Dont wory you will get it no-probs! :( } donno bout me though!!!

everygoodnamewastaken Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 I went to get my grant form today from the police today but they said that they dont hand them out anymore!!! They took my details and said that they are gonna sendd out a pack of somesort. Does anyone have any experiance with this new system or is it just a Scottish thing? I now have a teacher to sighn it Yipeeee! What happens when i fill out the forms and post them back? They dont realy have a reason to not give me one cause i feel that i am responsible and my teacher can vouch for that. I have good reason to have keep guns so is there any way the can object? :( Oh yeah big dave there is proposals to revise the ages and change them all to 18 before getting any sort of lisence :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave15 Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 Well better get going then I am going to apply for my own shotgun one then firearms. There not going to get me I descide that if I allready have the certifacates when the new law comes in they cant take them away from me as it is against the human rights laws to take away my certifacate for no good reason. I stayed up all last night to find that out ! Me or my dad have never applied for a F.A.C as he keeps his rifles at my uncles house. How does the F.A.C Differ from the shotgun certifcate I have heard its more strict :what: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everygoodnamewastaken Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 I think you need two signatures this time and a lot of land to shoot on but cheack it up on the site i told you about. You need to have your ammo stored in a seperate locked cabinate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave15 Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 I just checked it up on the page and yes it quite a bit stricter but I think its worth it for a 22 rim fire for the bunnies :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
